Convert your old fireplace into a heat producer

As summer approaches and temperatures rise, your fireplace may be the last thing on your mind right now. However, this is actually the best time to transform your fireplace into a high-efficiency heat source for next winter.

Standard masonry or prefab fireplaces are often inefficient. In fact, many home energy audits rate them below zero efficiency. An open fireplace requires significant oxygen to feed the fire; if it is 20 degrees outside, that cold air is pulled through your home to fuel the flames, cooling other rooms. Furthermore, once the fire dies down, the warm flue continues to pull heated air from your home and vent it outside. This forces your furnace or heat pump to work much harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Fortunately, a high-efficiency wood-burning insert offers an excellent solution. Modern inserts are approximately 80% efficient, keeping heat in your home rather than letting it escape up the chimney. Many models also offer impressive burn times ranging from 10 to 24 hours on a single load of wood!

Today’s inserts are as attractive as they are functional. Unlike older models, modern designs feature large, clean glass fronts and styles ranging from contemporary to traditional to complement any home decor.

By starting your fireplace project now, you can beat the busy fall season and take advantage of better summer pricing on most models.
